2. Prepare the dough:
   Roll out the crescent roll or pizza dough onto a lightly floured surface.

   • If using crescent roll dough, separate it into triangles.

   • If using pizza dough, cut it into 8 even rectangles.

3. Add the filling:
   Spread a small amount of pizza sauce onto each piece of dough.
   Top with a handful of shredded mozzarella and a few slices of pepperoni (or your favorite toppings).

4. Season and fold:
   Sprinkle a pinch of garlic powder and Italian seasoning over the filling.
   Fold the dough over the filling to create a pocket and press the edges with a fork to seal them tightly.
